JAPANESE BRANCHING ASTERS. 
A new strain, with flowers of immense size, in appearanee some- 
what after the style of the Japanese Chrysanthemums. As this 
superb variety is very tall, and blossoms later than the German 
Asters, bearing its beautiful, large, double flowers on long stems, it 
is invaluable for floral work, and most effective in flower garden. 
It is at the present time the most popular form of Aster, and with- 
stands blight better than others. The colors may be expected to 
vary a little, some with a tinge of rose appearing among the whites, 
but all the flowers are extremely beautiful. We offer as follows:

NEW EARLY-BLOOMING COSMOS. 
Few flowers are more highly esteemed than the beautiful Cos= 
mos. Lateness of flowering has, however, been the cause of 
serious disappointment to New England growers, frost frequently 
killing the plants before a single blossom opened. This strain is 
very early, and quite new. The seed we offer was growz iz Massa- 
chusetts, ripened and saved before the Cosmos usually grown had 
begun to flower. Seed sown at the usual time produces plants which 
blossom in July and remain in full bloom till frost. The flowers 
are large and of a variety of lovely colors. For cutting nothing is 
more desirable.
